It should be an easy learning curve for Enigmail users. That isn't the same as finding it acceptable, though. Back in the mid-'90s PGP came out with a GUI for PGP 5, and it's universally agreed at user interface was horrific. (See "Why Johnny Can't Encrypt" for a detailed teardown.) The problem was that this horrific user interface became the standard user interface, and most OpenPGP key managers ever since have adopted it. Those that haven't adopted it, nobody uses, because their UI is so different than everything else. > 2. Is there any real plan to have working smartcard support in the > near future? No. There's some talk about supporting it, but as far as I know there's no plan to do it. It's still at the "you know, it'd be kind of nice if..." stage, not the "we really should do this" stage. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
